Full Credential Description
They applied to the government’s Insolvency Service for redundancy pay, unpaid wages, holiday pay, and notice pay-only to have their claims rejected on the basis that they were classified as “members” of an LLP not employees. Alan Lewis who led the claim on behalf of the former employees argued that the partnership agreements were designed to obscure the workers’ true employment status and deprive them of statutory rights. However, just one day before the hearing, the Secretary of State conceded that all 55 claimants were, in fact, employees.
